Man leading fight on behalf of 3D guns wanted for sexual assault of underage girl

<p>Cody Wilson, the founder of Defense Distributed, says he's begun selling designs for 3D-printed guns. That's after a judge <a href="https://www.newsy.com/stories/judge-extends-order-to-ban-3d-printed-gun-designs-online/" target="_blank">extended an order to ban</a> downloadable blueprints for the items. </p><p>Wilson says that means he can’t supply the blueprints online for free, but he can sell them. </p><p><a href="https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/4784902/3D-Guns-Seattle-20180827.pdf" target="_blank">According to the court order</a>, “Files cannot be uploaded to the internet, but they can be emailed, mailed, securely transmitted, or otherwise published within the United States.”</p><p>Wilson is asking people to name their price, then emailing or shipping them the designs. He says blocking their distribution is a violation of free speech. </p><p>He told the press Tuesday, "Anyone who wants these files is going to get them. I'm gonna sell it to them, I'm gonna ship them."</p><p>Additional reporting by <a href="https://www.cnn.com/" target="_blank">Newsy affiliate CNN</a>. </p><hr><b>Trending stories at <a href="http://www.newsy.com">Newsy.com</a></b><ul class="inline-related-links"><li><a href="http://www.newsy.com/stories/canada-re-enters-nafta-talks/">Canada Re-enters NAFTA Negotiations</a></li><li><a href="http://www.newsy.com/stories/mattis-us-has-no-plans-to-end-military-drills-with-s-korea/">Mattis: US Has No Plans To Cancel Military Drills With South Korea</a></li><li><a href="http://www.newsy.com/stories/puerto-rico-raises-official-maria-death-toll-to-2-975/">Puerto Rico Raises Official Hurricane Maria Death Toll By Nearly 3,000</a></li></ul>
